Introducing the first episode of Mik + One, Mik sits down with Gene Kim, best-selling author of The Phoenix Project and The Unicorn Project, as well as co-author of The DevOps Handbook.

In the first half of this special two-part episode, Mik and Gene talk about:

  • Gene’s journey, and how it led to The Unicorn Project
  • The motivation and origins behind the Five Ideals and how to put them into practice
  • The profound wisdom of the First Ideal: Locality and Simplicity -- and why leaders should use it as a test to identify whether they are progressing in the right direction
  • The Second Ideal: Focus, Flow and Joy -- why it resonates so much with Mik, and it’s impact and importance to generating outcomes
